Chapter 98
Just go back to sleep.
Maybe things will be better after a good night’s sleep.
…that’s true.
Paulette had a scary dream where she dreamt she was caught by Jeremiah while looking for a male escort, and ended up being dragged back home without any dignity.
Woke up drenched in sweat, she stood still for over ten minutes before stumbling out of bed and finding her phone on the couch.
At eight in the morning.
Paulette was just about to relax when she caught sight of the man’s coat
next to her.
“Oh no…oh no oh no!”
She had been holding her breath since just now, and had to face the miserable fact… It wasn’t a dream at all! The thing about being dragged by Jessica to find a male escort yesterday was caught red–handed by Jeremiah!
Paulette was so upset that she wanted to cry but couldn’t, so she just covered her face with her hands in frustration.
She racked her brain a thousand times, but couldn’t come up with a good
excuse.
“Let it be, just die!”

Finally, Paulette gritted her teeth and decided to take a shower first.

The ship will turn at the bridge, the soldiers will block the way, the water will cover the earth, worst case scenario… worst case scenario is that Jeremiah won’t marry her. She thought about these things gloomily, took a long time to shower and dawdled before going downstairs.
The living room was quiet, and you could faintly hear Larissa humming in the kitchen.
Looks like he hadn’t gotten up yet.
Paulette sighed and stepped aside.
The relaxed mood didn’t last long, and she soon saw the man with his back turned in the restaurant.
Her eyes froze, and Paulette’s mind immediately flashed a hundred ways to deal with it, even wondering if she should turn around and leave. But you can’t hide forever, so she eventually gritted her teeth and walked over.
“Hi.”
She laughed dryly, “Morning.”
Jeremiah just grunted and didn’t even look up.
“What’s going on?”
Paulette couldn’t figure it out, so she pulled up a chair and sat down.
She was twenty–one, and for the first time, she felt what it meant to feel like time was dragging on forever. Even though Jeremiah didn’t say anything, he looked down at the stock information on his phone, but his presence was hard to ignore, relaxed yet sharp.
After a while, finally another voice joined in.

“Paula is awake.”

Larissa didn’t notice anything unusual between them, she placed a full plate of churros on the table, “Quick, eat while it’s hot. I made these early this morning, they’re crispy and soft. Hey Paula, do you want some milk? Jeremiah, why aren’t you…
“I’ll do it myself!”
”
Before Larissa could finish speaking, Paulette quickly stood up and took the initiative again.
Not only poured one for myself, but also poured a glass for Jeremiah, kindly pushed it in front of him.
Wearing a guilty conscience, how dare I let others serve me.
She had to perform well.
Jeremiah looked up and saw a face with a bright smile.
If emotions had shapes, that girl would definitely have a crazy wagging
tail.
He suddenly remembered the big golden retriever at home before. Whenever he wanted a snack or did something naughty, it would sit obediently by his side, with a pleading look in its eyes.
The corners of his mouth quickly turned up and then dropped down, Jeremiah looked strong and calm, and simply said, “Thank you.”
“…Oh.” Paulette’s smile faltered.
Sit back in your own seat.
She was eating, glancing at the man from time to time, trying hard to figure out what he was thinking, but she got nothing.

Did Jeremiah think it was no big deal, not worth getting angry about?
The idea was shot down by Paulette as soon as it came up.
Everyone couldn’t accept it.

She couldn’t imagine what her reaction would be if she saw Jeremiah with another woman.
There was a “bang“.
Paulette put down the fork.
She looked up and saw the man across from her staring at her with a puzzled expression.
“Just say whatever you want, I yesterday, I…” She took another deep breath, closed her eyes, and bravely declared, “I hired a male escort yesterday! It’s right for you to be mad at me, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it up to you!”
The air suddenly went quiet.
Even Larissa stopped humming.
Paulette slowly opened her eyes and met Jeremiah’s handsome and lazy face.
Larissa stood on the side, holding small dishes in both hands.
On the contrary, she seemed to be the incredible one.
Oh my god… Paula is so fancy, huh? She actually hired a male escort, and it looks like Jeremiah caught her cheating…
